Reviving the practice of using elements of popular music in classical composition, an approach that had been in hibernation in the United States during the 1960s, composer Philip Glass(born 1937)embraced the ethos of popular music in his compositions. Glass based two symphonies on music by rock musicians David Bowie and Brian Eno, but the symphonies’ sound is distinctively his. Popular elements do not appear out of place in Glass’s classical music, which from its early days has shared certain harmonies and rhythms with rock music. Yet this use of popular elements has not made Glass a composer of popular music. His music is not a version of popular music packaged to attract classical listeners; it is high art for listeners steeped in rock rather than the classics.
Select only one answer choice. [br] The passage addresses which of the following issues related to Glass’s use of popular elements in his classical compositions?
选项
A、How it is regarded by listeners who prefer rock to the classics
B、How it has affected the commercial success of Glass’s music
C、Whether it has contributed to a revival of interest among other composers in using popular elements in their compositions
D、Whether it has had a detrimental effect on Glass’s reputation as a composer of classical music
E、Whether it has caused certain of Glass’s works to be derivative in quality
答案
E
解析
One of the important points that the passage makes is that when Glass uses popular elements in his music, the result is very much his own creation(it is "distinctively his"). In other words, the music is far from being derivative. Thus one issue that the passage addresses is the one referred to in answer Choice E—it answers it in the negative. The passage does not discuss the impact of Glass’s use of popular elements on listeners, on the commercial success of his music, on other composers, nor on Glass’s reputation, so none of Choices A through D is correct.
The correct answer is Choice E.
